Wow, thank you so much for coming up with this comprehensive list! I have been looking for that for a long time, but none of the existing resources are so exhaustive. And apart from vine, snapchat, and instagram which we all know have been wildly successful. Do we know which of the other apps (not counting corporate ones like YouTube or iMovie) have relatively more users?

Terrific compilation, thanks!… Let me add one more, which is designed to give your videos a more professional treatment… Instagram and Vine apps are fun for quick posts, but for serious business, get VideoPro Camera — designed by a pro, for pros… Its features include precision-controlled zoom speed; independent locking of focus, exposure, and white balance; an on-screen audio meter; control of video quality and frame rate; and stabilization – all with controls that are easy to see and use. VideoPro Camera was invented and developed by Ken Kobre, author of classic textbooks "Photojournalism: The Professionals’ Approach" and "Videojournalism: Multimedia Storytelling," and producer of the feature documentary "Deadline Every Second: On Assignment with 12 AP Photojournalists."

Our new video editing app has just recently being released on the Play Store. It’s a radical approach to video editing on Smartphone and Tablet devices and moves away from the traditional time-line and automatic editing of most mobile software apps. The app allows users to mix their videos, photos and audio live at the touch of a button and puts the user in full control of their mix and allows them to create the video the way they want. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.highandes.TrakAx&hl=en

I’ve been using Splice for editing my videos and it seems to be very good and easy to use app…Thanks for providing some alternatives too..:)
It would be great, if you have a look at some of the best video editing apps available for ANdroid and iPhone too..

AndroVid is my favorite for Android. There’s a free version which let’s you trim and do the basic functions, and you can upgrade to the Pro version to rotate and do other more difficult editing for a fee. I can’t remember what the cost is on the Play Store (and it won’t show me because I already bought it), but it’s $1.99 on Amazon.

Ive been using ‘splice’ on my iphone to edit my gopro videos. Its fantastic only problem now is I have an android phone and splice is an apple app.
Can you please help me find an app like spice for the android phone.
Thanks
